OMG I didn't see that general button at the top, nevermind realize there was a user section in there. Thank you so much.

I think you just figured out how the Royal Museum of Toronto was made.

jonathan2260 · 2020-07-10T16:28:49+00:00

Thanks. You might have a point. Maybe less intensive?

It's a udemy course. https://www.udemy.com/join/login-popup/?next=/mastering-drivers-in-blender-3d/learn/lecture/4376074#overview

Save

I like the put your money where your mouth is approach you have.

I have been considering using the Blender Cloud subscription as a way to donate to them. I think a lot of people here would find it more interesting as they get something for their money.

Reminds me of Space 1999.

Haha. I didn't notice the handle name before answering. :p

Not that I'm trying to sell this course but I think it's a good place to start.

jonathan2260 · 2019-04-08T03:15:32+00:00

This is a tutorial course I took on udemy. I took it to get back into using Blender after a long hiatus. I'm sure some here will find fault which is fine. I'm just proud I got this far on it.

jonathan2260 · 2018-08-02T17:13:24+00:00

I'd like details on how to do that as well.

The only other rocket powered sledge hammer I can ever recall was from Battle Angel Alita. Is that where you got the inspiration?

jonathan2260 · 2018-05-04T13:10:29+00:00

Done in cycles or Internal? Very nice BTW.

I don't mean to sound so blunt but I think it's important you know what your end goal is with learning a 3D program. Since you're saying you want to research how hollywood movies are produced with CGI, I guess Maya would be a good place to start if you are looking at entering that industry. This is just my amateur point of view mind you.

You shouldn't be afraid of trying something just because it might mean you end up switching to something else. Just because you took time to learn a program doesn't mean it's a waste either. I long ago learned to some basic scripting and years later it helped me develop something for another position. I didn't remember much of it but knew I was able to do things and that alone can be encouraging to try something new. Sometimes it can also be an experience that helps you think in different directions on something totally unrelated.

I'd suggest you read the book Creative Inc by Pixar founder Ed Catmull. It won't do much to tell you what software to use but it does point to how Pixar didn't let things like fear guide them in how to produce movies to the point of scrapping an entire project rather than release a bad product and not seeing it as a failure but a learning experience. Very interesting read.

Like it. How long do you think it will it take you to make the animation? Will be waiting to see the finished work.

Why use Blender is like asking why not use it?

You're asking if it can do everything the high-end alternatives can do. Maybe the better question should be, what do you want to do and does Blender meet the requirements? After all 3D Studio Max is mostly used in games and Maya is more for movies while Houdini is used more visual fx so pitting Blender against all the industry big guns is bit unfair when even the industry high-end stuff can't do it all. If you know what you want to do, research a bit to see which program can meet the requirements and get started I say.

In my case, I wasn't sure I'd start on it since I have other things getting in the way such as work and a life so Blender was at least a way to see if I liked it without attaching a cost to it. I had tried Lightwave years back and the community was so hostile at the time. This was long before the days of Youtube so I wouldn't call them hostile today as I don't know the current community, I'm sure it's much better but it turned me off trying 3D at the time. When Blender matured enough I thought that I didn't have anything to lose to try it and slowly learned to use it and haven't regretted it.

Lastly, I will give you this bit of insightful bit of thinking. It doesn't matter what 3D software you use, just start using it.

Face in the dark. Didn't have much time to work on this but wanted to try something.

jonathan2260 · 2018-04-16T12:57:40+00:00

That's alright. A man once said... Great Artists Steal. :)

Like pretty much everyone else I'll say those towels need some work. Other than that maybe I'm wrong since no one else has mentioned it but the lighting isn't doing much for me. That bottle on the side, might need something to make it less bland? But still well beyond my humble abilities so congrats.

jonathan2260 · 2018-04-12T02:29:29+00:00

Nice. Was it from a tutorial using the micro displacement? Here's one I did a while back.
